It's a fairly cloudy start to the day here, though there are some breaks in the cloud and it is quite bright - certainly brighter than yesterday was. At the moment it is 5 degrees in the village and it will likely warm up a bit during the day as well, forecast to just be cloudy.

There is a chance of rain tomorrow.
